My Sony Alpha100 makes a loud grinding noise when turning on, lasts a few seconds then stop, still takes pictures, not sure of quality as am afraid of damage the noise is making.

My flash has stopped working for some reason - I tried to use it yesterday and all of a sudden the camera takes pictures without the flah. I went on the flash settings and made sure it was set on Auto and then tried to take the picture again but no flash still. I then set the flash to go off on every picture but still the flash did not go off I would like to know how to get the flash working again Thanks

Hello - My Olympus SP-550OUZ Camera was in a rucksack which slid of my shoulder and hit the ground. Although there is no obvious damage to it, nothing cracked, no marks etc., it has stopped seeing properly. Pictures already taken can still be viewed either in the viewfinder or the screen both work perfectly. The lens moves in and out not problem everything seems to work fine except when you look to take a picture either by viewfinder or the lcd screen all it sees is a blurry hazy purple pictu

I took my camera to the beach, took a picture and put it back in my bag. I then took the camera back out to take another picture the lens extended but then it went back in again it went to go back out but stopped and a loud beeping noise started and a message saying lens error restart camera. I don't know how to restart the camera and if that means turning it of then on it still doesn't work. What can I do now?

If your camera went into "standby" mode, the lens retracted and you may have thought it was off. You put it into the bag and slight pressure on a button reactivated it and the lens tried to come out but may have been prevented by something in the bag ...

Nikon Coolpix s220...Lens Error. Camera was dropped from like 5 inches. Immediately received the error message screen. The lens is stuck all the way out...I have tried to do some of the above and while twisting the lens slightly got it to take pictures again, I think it may have done more damage because its still makes a buzzing noise when I turn it on and there is black on a portion of the screen like the cover is partially stuck (inside the camera).

Lens error I have a Canon Powershoot SD1000 and it was working fine until one day the lens stopped retracting. Now it doesn't retract and I get a Lens Error, Restart Camera message. I looked at other websites to get help and tried some of the ways they suggest to fix it. Not sure if its working, because it still gives the same message and makes a noise sounding like its trying to retract then gives me the Canon welcome picture. I've only had this for a little over a year and would like it to be

Taking pictures I have loved using my camera until it stopped being able to take pictures. Whenever I try to take a picture, the red light goes on a few times but the camera never flashes, clicks, or takes the picture. I can still look at my pictures but I can't take them. What is wrong and what should I do?

This could be due to a jammed lens element preventing the camera from focusing properly. When you push the button the camera attempts to focus the image before it takes the picture. If the focus component in the lens is not moving properly it cannot ...

I have a Canon Rebel XS that I just purchased a month ago. I have taken very good care of it. I took several pictures yesterday, but when I turned it in this morning it wouldn't take a picture. It flashes rapidly, but won't focus. The only setting I ever use is the auto focus setting, and I've checked to make sure it was still set, but still it won't take a picture. I am out of town and I don't have my manual, so I can't troubleshot on my own. :( Can you help?

Cannon Camera I can take pictures and can only view the last picture taken only. Also the function or menu button does not respond. Some time ago I was able to scroll forward and backward when looking at my pictures taken , the i could only scroll in one direction only. Now it does not scroll at all. I take beautiful pictures and can still download from my memory card. The selection mode button stop working so I can't take movie shots

Obviously a faulty button switch, your camera will need to be taken aprt by a proffessional repairer to solve this one, it will require a complete membrane swaitch assembly comprising all buttons, as they come in one unit. will possibly cost more tha ...

My Sony cyber-shot DSC-T70/T75/T200 will only take 14 pictures and then it says no memory space in internal memory and doesn't allow me to take more. I have tried deleting all pictures, and I have formatted internal memory, several times over but can still only get 14 pictures maximum. The camera is about 1 year old, and this has only recently started happening. Not sure how to fix it? . Thanks. Hilary

My d5000 fell on the floor and the filter glass of the lens broke. i tried taking pictures to see if it's still working but the view from the viewfinder is darker than usual and it would not take pics even if i press the shutter release button. should broken filter glass prevent taking pictures or does this mean there is another damage to the camera apart from the broken filter glass?

The filter should have nothing to do with the images recorded on camera (I assume it's an UV- or skylight filter).I'd say there's some more serious damage to your camera and you should take it to an authorized dealer repair shop. ...

Flash seems like flash works when i take a pictures, but pictures are dark, as if flash didn't work at all. it looks like hte flash deploys too early. it still takes pretty good quality pictures outside when i don't need flash. thanks for any help

I gave the lense part of the camara a moderate slap, and the camara has worked fine since. looks like a lot of people have the same problem. Most of the people call it black screen problem. the shutter gets stuck. Tap it a few times on the side of th ...

I was taking pictures with my camera the other day, and then it just stopped taking them. When I tried to proceed, it would flash with the eye symbol. I tried taking the batteries out, putting my pictures from sd disk on desktop. It still did the same thing. Also the letter F and numbers popped up.

View finder was damaged during a vacation trip. The view finder was cracked and while I can still take pictures, I cannot frame the picture. Where can I get it repaired or do I have to buy a new camera. I just purchased this camera. It takes great pictures.

My samsung L201 camera still works taking pictures, although I can't see what pictures i am taking as the screen is just white...sometimes it fades to black and then back to white. Im not sure whether it can be fixed?

When I last took a picture with my Nikon S6000 it made a ratchet noise and the lens would not retract. I fully recharged the battery and tried it again. It still makes a ratchet noise and the lens will not retract and will not let me take a picture as well.

My K7 will turn on but the LCD screen and monitor won't turn on. The only thing that shows up on the LCD screen is the battery button. When I try to take a picture it makes a funny noise. I didn't drop my camera or anything and it worked perfectly yesterday. The only thing is that I did charge my battery overnight. It still turned on normally earlier in the day but then I didn't take any pictures (as my daughter wouldn't look) so I turned it off until a little bit ago when I turned it on and dis

I just got a second hand bought Kodak EasyShare C913 camera. After I got it I took only 7 pictures, after that it wouldn't let me take any others because it would say 'internal memory is full.' I just bought an 8gb memory card and I'm pretty sure I programed it so the camera reads that it's memory goes on the card and such. But it still says the memory is full and I'm not sure why. I don't know much on cameras I just want to use it for pictures and then to upload them onto my computer. Please he

The C913 is designed to work with SD cards. Your 8GB card is actually an SDHC card. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they will not work. You need to use SD cards 2GB and smaller. ...

I gave my son an EasyShare camera for his birthday in late December, and he loved it until a few days ago (early April) when the buttons to navigate up/down, left/right suddenly stopped working. It still takes pictures and the "OK" button in the center still works, but since the other buttons don't work he can't look at his pictures or otherwise navigate through the menus. We are frustrated and disappointed with this product. Let me know if you have any advice.

Grinding noise I had my cd500 fixed in November. The little piece that holds the cd
in came off. They fixed that, but then when I got it back I was still
getting format errors. They gave it back and told me to only use
mavica discs. And since then that is what I've been doing. However I
am still hearing a loud grinding noise when the picture is being
burned. Do you know what it is? I am wondering if I need to take it
back in.

Black screen We are having the problem many others are having on this website. We were in the middle of our trip to Monterey this weekend when the screen went completely black and no more pictures can be taken. We could use the menu & could look at pictures already taken, so we have to conclude that the LCD is NOT the actual problem; however, we aren't sure why we can't take anymore pictures. We dumped all the pictures on the camera onto our computer thinking it might be "full", but still no
